Edgar’s Ofrenda

Edgar

Clay, cut paper, and tissue flowers

I dedicate my ofrenda to my grandfather, may he rest in peace. I chose this person because he was the person I appreciated the most and even though he passed away several years ago, he will always be present in my mind. He used to tell me how much they suffered because they had to work hard to buy food for every single day. I am happy to have had a grandfather like him and although I don’t think I will see him again, he will live in my heart forever. For my ofrenda I used the colors blue, black and brown. The blue to me represents the sky. The black signifies the period of mourning I had for him, and the brown means the earth because he worked the land.
